    Unable to change default email to yahoo


    Hi,

    I just bought a new dell laptop which has the OS Windows 7 allready installed on the hard-drive.

    Anyway I would like to change the defualt email from Outlook to Yahoo.mail. I have followed all instructions on both Windows 7 tutorials and yahoo tutorials but I have not been successful.

    Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated
